Bucky Barnes doesn't give a fuck about milk.

Remember that the laws establishing and protecting the rights of unions were a shaky truce made by governments afraid of being overthrown. They’re a way to pacify unions, give them what they want so they don’t get angry enough to start burning shit again

Those laws aren’t what makes unions possible, viable, or effective. Those laws exist because unions were so effective even without them

People act like they can’t unionize just because they live in America, or their state is Right to Work, or the company they work for is notoriously anti-union. But labor movements survived periods of being literally mowed down with machine guns by the US Army - so we don’t need to be scared off by a few posters

The fundamental power of a union comes from the fact that we outnumber them, and that the workplace doesn’t move without our labor. That power doesn’t need to be permitted and can’t be legislated away. So join a damn union!

I have never seen this guy before or heard his name (that I recall), but I'm definitely familiar with his work!

I did recognize his name but I almost didn't recognize him at first because he's a bit older now

Here's some of his more famous photos:

Fun fact, he sued hasbro for $73 million (and won!), because they weren't paying him his royalties.

He's also a former NASA aerospace engineer.

At NASA, and just to name one example, Johnson designed the radioisotope thermoelectric generator for the Galileo probe that explored Jupiter.

That is, when I'm not playing shows, antagonizing fascists, staging unpermitted political actions slash performance-art pieces, or having a laugh at the pub with the mandem. I'm not a role model. I was briefly a runway model. I hate the A.M. I hate the P.M. I hate labels. I'm not a hero because calling yourself a hero makes you a self-mythologizing, narcissistic autocrat.

the way aragorn runs is so chaotic

@tathrin's tags have been vetted and approved

#that is a man who A: has tripped over his sword before and been laughed at by EVERY ELF IN RIVENDELL and is NOT going to do it again#and B: knows that he has more leg than anyone else in the room and is GOING TO USE IT BY GODS#he is COVERING GROUND with every step#he got that moniker of strider through HARD HONEST WORK (and very very big steps)#aragorn#lotr movies#viggo mortensen

#So basically. He runs like an actual real person would over uneven ground 😂#The Hollywood Run is pretty to watch sure but also takes place on a paved surface usually#There is no way to look dignified whilst running across lumpy bumpy ground down across a hill. Unless one is an actual gazelle#thankyou Mr. Viggo for that Real Human rep (saving @jonairadreaming's excellent tags because everyone who has ever tried running down an incline over uneven, possibly shifting, ground knows you try to get down there as fast as possible with the least amount of time of foot actually touching the ground and constantly being prepared to shift your weight to keep your balance. By the time the stones actually shift from your weight you already want to be two steps away)

I’m terribly sorry, madam. I have absolutely no idea where he learned that word.

I just want everyone to eat well and get old

every single one of us should have the chance to get old and bald and wrinkly and fat. I mean that sincerely

We had a patient last night who was a textbook case of electrolytes imbalance as a result of nausea and vomiting. And I didn’t say this to the patient because I didn’t think they’d appreciate it, but it’s kinda great when the way you are so so sick is like exactly like the textbooks say it’ll be. Like not good that you’re having sudden new onset muscle weakness and tingling, but buddy this is gonna get sorted out with an efficiency you won’t believe. We fixed like 85% of the stuff wrong with this patient by midnight and we marveled the whole time about how this patient was seemingly concocted in a lab so I could walk my trainee through a highly manageable crisis

It also meant I got to share with my trainee what is my absolute favorite part of the job: when you take someone who is So Miserable and you make them feel So Much Better that they start once again having a personality beyond suffering and crying. It’s like seeing a plant perk up after finally getting watered. Suddenly they’re joking, they’re laughing, you’re talking about stuff that doesn’t have anything to do with puking or tingling or bleeding or burning. They’ve got a bag of potassium phosphate going into their arm, and we’re cackling like banshees because your friend at bedside who has been so worried just made a really stupid joke. There is no sillier place in the hospital than the room where someone is giggling with the giddy joy you get when you feel pretty okay after just one hour ago everything sucking so, so, so, so bad.

Ok I reblogged this with a long talk in tags recently but this is for all you fuckers in the notes, as a librarian whose library has gone fine-free since the last time I reblogged this post:

TL;DR Fine free is great, it's in line with libraries' mission of public service, and it is doable, but only if governments choose to fund it. If they say they can't, look at where their money is coming from and where it's going.

Thinking of the larger context of LOTR and like, the fellowship swapping old war stories and shit and Sam just says “Yeah I killed a huge spider…Shelob, I think?”

And Gandalf just blinks and is like, “You what now?”

“Yeah, killed it. Had to save Frodo”

Gandalf elects not to tell Sam that he killed the spawn of a primordial demon.

the daughter of the embodiment of darkness which ate the original sun and moon and almost ate the devil.

That's not important. What is important is that it was a danger to Mister Frodo.

Update Harvard students are walking out in solidarity with Columbia’s students

These are billion dollar for profit institutions that directly impact financial backing of Israel’s apartheid regime

MIT is walking out! Do you not understand how huge this is? Do you understand what holds Israel afloat?

In solidarity with Columbia Yale students have just constructed an encampment. Organizers say they won’t leave until Yale divests from all military weapons manufacturing.

[image description: a screenshot of a tweet by braxtonbrew96 that reads, "unc students right now starting an encampment outside of the university administration building in solidarity with columbia students and palestine 🇵🇸." below the tweet is a video showing the encampment. the tweet has been quote retweeted by aditilrao, who adds, "encampments on every campus until the cops are off them all!! reclamation ❤️‍🔥 abolition ❤️‍🔥 divestment now ❤️‍🔥." end description.]
